222 Tyranny (2/2)

The Sixth Elder wasn't able to understand the meaning behind 'the only son lucky enough to survive'; but even though Jun Wu Yi stated his nephew's fortune in a plain and dull manner, the Sixth Elder could clearly sense the implied meaning of their Family's extreme misfortunes!

”Ha ha, the sole heirs to a bloodline are often very seriously pampered ha ha!” the Sixth Elder laughed in a gentle and kind manner: ”I see that he carries a very well-cultured demeanor; the Jun Family must indeed be very proud of him ah.”

”Elder, may I please be given the liberty of asking the Sixth Elder's name?” Jun Mo Xie had heard stories about this man, and hence wanted to know his real name.

The Six Elder's eyes ducked for a moment, but then smiled and replied back calmly: ”This Old Man's Family name is Xiao. Xiao Han is my nephew.”

”Ah.” Jun Mo Xie smiled courteously as he quickly concealed that murderous aura which had flashed through his eyes for a moment, and somehow managed to prevent anyone from seeing it: ”I really envy Elder Xiao's Spirit Xuan strength for you are strong enough to be counted amongst the most powerful men in this world, and ah, it's a real blessing for my Family that a man of your strength is visiting us today.”

The Sixth Elder smiled warmly: ”He speaks very decently even at such a young age.”

The four men smiled as they walked inside.

Mu Xue Tong was walking on the side, and couldn't help wondering that the Sixth Elder had been working so closely with the Third and Ninth Elder ever since he had joined the Silver Blizzard City that no one had ever referred to him as ”a Xiao Elder” in a long time, and as a result, over the years people had almost forgotten that he hailed from the Xiao Family.

Even though both the sides were talking in a very dignified and harmonious manner, it was evident that something was fishy. Moreover, even though the two parties were constantly exchanging very pleasant words with beaming smiles on their faces, the atmosphere was becoming increasingly depressing.

A thought suddenly arose in Mu Xue Tong's mind, and left him rather surprised: [Could it really be possible that the Sixth Elder didn't participate in all those activities at that time? If so, then the Sixth Elder's visit to the Jun Family today could mark the beginning of a new era of devastation for the Jun Family! ]

Jun Wu Yi's courtyard, study hall, and living room were all connected, but since Jun Wu Yi had no intention of disturbing the Solitary Eagle, who was engrossed in his practice inside his study hall, he asked his servants to make seating arrangements under a tree in his courtyard.

”This tea is excellent!” the Sixth Elder inhaled the favor, gently sipped at it, and then leaned his body slightly backward as he closed his eyes and relished its aftertaste for a moment before praising it's quality. ”Third Master Jun, I don't know of this, but have you come across our Silver Blizzard City's Xiao Family's young master lately?”

”The Xiao Family's young master?” Jun Wu Yi puckered his brows as he pondered: ”I've never met him; my disease has only seen improvements recently, and I still can't move about freely since I've forgotten to walk over so many years of my disability, and hence I only have a very little exposure of the world outside the Jun residence, but still I have no idea why the Sixth Elder is asking me this? What's the Xiao Family's son named? Could you tell me his age and appearance?”

”Oh? The Third Master Jun hasn't met him?” the Sixth Elder's body was still leaning backwards, while his eyes were still faintly shut: ”My Grandnephew accompanied the Little Princess out to the Tian Xiang City today, but was beaten up by a bold bunch of bandits; the conditions of his injuries are quite serious. This Old Man really can't think of any Tian Xiang City-based Family apart from the Jun, which would have the courage to act so audaciously against us.”

”The Sixth Elder seems to be quite sure, but what evidence is there to support that this was done by the Jun Family? Given the Sixth Elder is one the most experienced men in this world, I presume that the Elder would have some sort of conclusive evidence to support his words!” Jun Mo Xie interrupted in between since he felt a bit wronged by the manner in which the Old Man was accusing his family.

”It's against the norms for youngsters to rashly interrupt two elders when they are speaking unless you wish to make a mockery out of your Family's name. This Jun boy needs to be taught a lesson for the future!” Even though the Sixth Elder snapped back at Jun Mo Xie, his eyes were still half-shut.

The Spirit Xuan expert condensed his Xuan Qi into a muffled sound wave, and directed in straight towards the young master Jun, which drilled straight into his eardrum!

A Spirit Xuan's condensed Xuan Qi can never be taken as a joke; even though it was nothing more than a strong vibration for the two Sky Xuans who were sitting in close proximity, it was powerful enough to send Jun Mo Xie's world tumbling upside-down.

He felt as if a sharp needle had pierced straight into his eardrum, which then proceeded forward from that point and continued to ruthlessly advance forward until it had shaken his entire soul. If the intensity of this sound wave had been any stronger, then it could've possibly left Jun Mo Xie to bleed on the spot, and although this injury wouldn't have been fatal, it was sure to leave the young master Jun with a severe tinnitus; a tinnitus severe enough often carries the danger of causing deafness!

Jun Mo Xie cursed within his heart, [this Old Man is too violent and merciless! ]

Even though the young master Jun felt as such, one could always argue that the Sixth Elder could've injured the young master Jun far more seriously in case he wanted to, and had only settled to serving a deserved punishment for the youngster's breach of conduct!

The young master Jun hadn't been a part of this world for too long, and even though he knew how things worked in theory, he had still never personally experienced the ant-like value a low Xuan Qi martial expert had in the eyes of a Spirit Xuan master.

The Sixth Elder on the other hand hadn't practiced too much restraint at this point since finding about Jun Wu Yi's healing injuries had left him a bit unsettled since it meant more trouble for his nephew. In his eyes, such a lowly family didn't deserve to enjoy such a favorable position and treatment!

Since Jun Mo Xie was the sole heir to the Jun Family's bloodline, he figured that harming the youngster would be equivalent of harming the entire Jun Family!

Upon being suddenly hit by this unforeseen attack, Jun Mo Xie had immediately moved the 'Art of Unlocking the heaven's fortune' into action, and had silently organized its force into a seven-layered defensive structure against the attack. This ruthless sound wave had penetrated through the initial layers of his defense with ease, but found itself spent by the time it reached the last layer, and was eventually unable to pass through his final line of defense. One has to say that the 'Art of Unlocking the heaven's fortune' is a really unique and powerful trump card because even though the difference between the strengths of a Gold Xuan and Spirit Xuan is simply unsurmountable, the young master Jun was somehow able to withstand the attack with its help since the attack didn't carry too much force with it.

Jun Mo Xie was left groaning, while the veins surrounding his nose were visibly bloodshot. The trauma of this injury was partial real, and partly fabricated by Jun Mo Xie's presence of mind since he knew that if the Sixth Elder realized that he was able to withstand this attack…. then the next one would be impossible to deflect.
